Where does this bit go - Nylon Bush (Rear Suspension?) - Eddamoo - 01-10-2018
Hi All,
We have a pile of suspension parts which have been cleaned up, and one of these Nylon Bushes (link below) was in with them. We don't know where it fits but thankfully found the part on A7Workshop. There are supposed to be 4 per car! They are replacements for an ex Lignum Vitae bush - could anyone please shine a light on where it may go?

Many thanks

As far as I remember, one of these bushes goes inside the centre hole of the bracket riveted to each side of the chassis at the rear, sleeving it down to the diameter of the central shock absorber bolt.
There are another two for the bracket of the centre front shock absorber, making it four for the whole car.

John is correct. But I think it is three used per car. One for each of the rear shock mountings and one for the centre mount at the front.

You will require two for the front damper.

Oops. Yes, now that you say it Ruairidh, you do need two for the front. Sorry!
